If You Think Your Locked iPhone Is Safe, This Trick Will Teach You Otherwise

Press the home button or say “Hey Siri.”
Ask Siri to search Twitter.
When Siri asks what to search for, say the last part of any email address (i.e., “at Gmail dot com”).
From the results, choose a tweet that contains a full email address.
Click that tweet, and using 3-D touch, press firmly on the address until a pop-up window appears.
Choose “Add New Contact” and BOOM. You have access to all of that person’s contacts and photo libraries!

All we can do beyond that is hope that phone companies are looking out for us, too.
